Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 150

William was struck speechless. Her words infuriated him, but he could not deny them.

She turned away, her expression cold, and he instinctively moved to stop her… Starting from two years ago, he had felt as though she just kept growing further away from him. It left him feeling extremely uneasy.

"Do you still have business with me, Mr. Jones?" Sophia looked up at him. Under the bright white light, the impatience and hatred in her eyes were perfectly clear for him to see.

He felt a stab of pain in his chest. He paused blankly, opening and closing his mouth several times before saying very quietly, "If you're in the right, I'll take your side."

"Hah!" Sophia laughed coldly and said with a sneer, "In that case, answer me this, Mr. Jones. Have you ever thought your sister was in the wrong?"

William frowned, a gleam in his eyes. "Leah has always been a bright and considerate girl. She always puts other people first. Even though you tried to run her over two years ago, she never charged you for it. It's because she didn't want you to end up in jail for life as a result…"

Sophia looked directly at him, the irony in her eyes thickening. However, she did not want to say a single word.

There was no getting through to someone like William Jones. Every word she said would just be a waste of breath.

Just then, footsteps approached them, and a gentle warm male voice spoke from behind Sophia. "What you're trying to say, Mr. Jones, is you don't think your little sister will ever do anything wrong, yes?"

Sophia frowned slightly and turned to look at the newcomer.

He was dressed in a smart suit under a doctor's whites. His features were handsome and bright, and he even had a pair of deep dimples in his cheeks.

The night was dark and the light from the lamps was not particularly stark. Even so, when he stood in front of her, she felt like she was standing directly under the sun.

"Victor Hemingway?" William frowned deeply and gave the man before him a good look before he ventured his name.

Victor smiled, his brows arching. "It's been seven years since we last met. I'm surprised you recognized me at a glance, Mr. Jones."

The two of them were classmates from preschool to junior high, but Victor transferred to the States in his first year of high school and only just returned.

"A reunion under such circumstances really isn't ideal." William tugged at the corners of his lips, but his smile did not reach his eyes at all. "My girlfriend and I have something to discuss, so if you'll so kindly give us some privacy…"

Sophia's eyes darkened at that, and she was about to say something when Victor beat her to the punch. "Girlfriend, you say?"

Before William could reply, Victor chuckled to himself. "Is that a joke, Mr. Jones? My aunt is constantly telling me about how you used to stick to Soph like glue but became enemies with her after what happened to your sister two years ago."

William's expression changed, and he clenched his fists slightly.

Victor paused, raising a brow. "When did Soph become your girlfriend? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Sophia frowned at the way this stranger kept calling her "Soph", but she did not say anything.

"My relationship with Sophia is none of your concern." William's fists were tightly clenched now, and his expression was turning ugly.

"Now, now, that's not nice." Victor reached out an arm and pulled Sophia into his embrace. With a laugh, he continued, "My aunt… Oh, you might know her better as Aunt Lucy. She said that she was going to introduce me to Soph as her boyfriend once I come back here. So, as Soph's future boyfriend, your relationship with her is plenty of my concern."
